just i want include chart from excel to mail merge(ms word).i can include any fields from excel but i cant add chart to the mail merge.How that can be done Is any other possible ways.
Embed or link the Excel chart in the Word merge document as you would in a normal Word file, e.g. copy the Excel chart, and paste it into Word as an object, image or link. The place your mail merge fields as desired and complete the merge.

So I have some SAS DIS jobs which create "kickout" data when run - by this I mean that if things run smoothly, none of the "kickout" data is generated, but it is known that there will be exceptions and I would like to have those exceptions put into a table and automatically emailed to me so that I am notified when something is behaving in a non-ideal manner.
I can create a transformation which will send an email containing the data I'm looking for, but the data is formatted as html and thus not in a form conducive to analysis. I'd like the transformation to email a .csv file which is more easily manipulated.
There is the option to send a .spk file but I'm having issues getting that to work and in any case am not sure it really suits my needs.
Is what I want possible, with or without the standard Publish to Email transformation provided by SAS DIS? Looking at the SAS DIS user guide I'm guessing that there is no pre-built transformation which does what I want, but can the base SAS code accomdate this requirement?
Thanks much!
The "Publish to Email transformation" uses ODS HTML to generate the output so you'll get a HTML output. If you want an XLS output then there is a way. You could change the extension of the output file to xls to generate xls file from the ODS HTML. This is an old way of generating xls from ODS HTML.
Now coming to the SPK file. This is something you should look into. Since you are looking into getting an xls/csv attachement which you can open and do some manipulation etc. SPK file is like a ZIP file. You can right click and unzip spk file. Basically you can put in all your files within a archive/spk file and get that emailed as attachement using the "Publish to Email Transformation"
To get this done, go to the properties of the "Publish to Email Transformation" and Under Publishing option=>
select Send report in an archive (.spk) file as an email attachment in the Select viewer file/attachment option field
provide folder/path where the spk file would be stored under Select path of where to store archive file containing report
provide the name of the spk file under Specify filename of archive file containing report
provide name=value pair of the package under Specify one or more desired package name/value pairs for package. For example this transformation is generating a PROC PRINT of an INPUT data set and the output file is c:\sushil\test.html then enter myname=(test.html) . The myname is for labeling purpose when you unzip the spk you should get test.html
Now Under REPORT SPECIFICATION option in the "Publish to Email Transformation" transformation select "Generate PROC PRINT from input table" and then enter the path and filename of generated report which based on our previous entry should be c:\sushil\test.html
Also, to select "Generate PROC PRINT from input table" you would need to right click the "Publish to Email Transformation" and select Ports -> Add Input Port. This how you can connect a table with the transformation. Now this is the minimum settings required to generate spk package from the transformation. Let me know if it helps!!
Note: This information is as per SAS DI Studio 4.6. I don't know if the transformation is updated in the newer version of DI Studio.
I have several model contracts in Microsoft Word files with as many as 20 pages per file). I would like to use Jasper Reports to fill out these contracts.
I tried importing the doc file into iReport, but that is not working.
Is there a way to convert a Microsoft Word file to a JasperReport template?
Try to convert the doc into excel and than use the excel as datasource in ireport.
Edit: Based on OP's comment.
You can not use a Microsoft word file as a JasperReport template. You will need to create a JRXML file for JasperReports. It is possible to use rtf or html as source for text fields but the final formating of such field is rather pure.
Your other option is to not user JasperReports and manipulate the Microsoft Word files directly using Apache Poi.
I did the merging multiple documents into one singe document (Test.docx) with FeedData and it works fine.
When I open the merged document Test.docx with WinZip, content looks like this:
File1.docx, File2.docx, File3.docx, where all merged documents are being stored like external files into Test.docx file.
Now wondering if there are possibility to be created one single document Test.docx with whole content inside instead of multiple files to be stored as it noted above, this will helps me a lot when I'm making Search / Replace content since like this, we opening file by file procedure?
Note: If I open the Test.docx via MS Word and press "Save", MS Word do the job but I would like to produce the same result via code?
Thank you in advance.

Take a look at this article, and see if this is what you're looking for:

Another way to merge multiple Open XML DOCX files into a single file is using the DocumentBuilder module that is part of Open-Xml-PowerTools, which is an open source lib on github.

Given that you want to do search and replace, check out OpenXmlRegex, also part of Open-Xml-PowerTools:

I have a PowerPoint template that contains one slide and on that slide is a chart. I'd like to be able to manipulate that chart's data using .NET.
So far I have code that...
unzips the Powerpoint file.
unzips the embedded excel file (ppt\embeddings\Microsoft_Office_Excel_Worksheet1.xlsx)
It successfully manipulates the data in the excel sheet and zips it back up.
Opens and manipulates ppt\charts\chart1.xml
Powerpoint is then zipped up and delivered to the user
The result of this is a PowerPoint file that shows a blank chart. But when I click on the chart and go to edit data it updates the data and shows the correct chart.
I believe my problem is with the chart1.xml that I am generating. I have compared my generated version with a version created by PowerPoint and they are almost identical. The only differences are in the values for <c:crossAx/> and <c:axId/>.
There are also some rounding differences in the data. But I do not feel like that would result in a blank chart.
Is there another file that I need to edit? Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I should try to get this working?
It's likely a combination the axID value and the rounding issues. The Axis ID, likely, is asking for an integer value and you may be supplying a single/double. So the cached data in chart1.xml doesn't know how to display.
Try your same manipulation that you've been doing, but instead of opening the result in PowerPoint, change the .pptx extention to .zip, unzip and then manually fix the rounding issues to match the original rounding. Then zip back up, change extension back to .pptx and open in PowerPoint. If this fixes the issue of display, you can confirm it is the rounding issue.
Alternatively, and along the same lines. Open your resulting PPTX in PowerPoint as you have been doing, and once you've right-clicked and rehydrated the chart, save as a different file name and compare that with your automated result.
I have a crystal report which contains a list of absolutely referenced text files. There is one text file referenced in each body line.
e.g.
line1 c:\file1.txt
line2 c:\file2.txt
Is there any way to display the contents of these files in Crystal?
i.e. I would like each crystal body line to show the text from the referenced text file.
I'm using Crystal reports 11 with a non-standard database connector (dataflex).
You would need to set up a file dsn (in XP it's under Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Datasources (ODBC)) and then use the file dsn (Microsoft Text Driver) for the datasource as an ODBC(RDO) connection.
I set this test scenario up on mine like the following:
**File 1**
column1
1row1
1row2
1row3
**File 2**
column1
2row1
2row2
2row3
I set up the file dsn to point to the c drive and in the datasource screen I added file1.txt and file2.txt to the selected tables. Then the easiest thing to do is clear the links of the tables so that it pulls every row. It will warn you that there are multiple starting points. I don't generally recomend this, but it will work in this case and since it's not reporting off a database it probably isn't the end of the world. If you disregard the starting point message then add the fields to the report, when you run it you should get the following output:
1row1 2row1
1row1 2row2
1row1 2row3
1row2 2row1
1row2 2row2
1row2 2row3
1row3 2row1
1row3 2row2
1row3 2row3
From this you can change your grouping to get the output that you need.
You can also use this same connect against subreports instead of doing this linking where you have the main report pull the info from file1.txt and then put a subreport in the report footer that pulls from file2.txt. This option won't have the text collated, but you'd still have it in the same report.
Hope this helps some.
It's easier than you think. I just set up one myself before I wrote this to make sure I was giving you the right steps. Using CR version XI and a .txt file, I followed these steps:
For each text file you want to import, make a subsection in your report (i.e. DetailsA, DetailsB, etc.). If your list of text files is constantly changing (and I don't think it is, based on your description), you'll need another method.
Make sure your text file is comma delimited and the first row contains field names. If these text files are actually text (i.e. not tables), then just put a dummy variable name in the first row so Crystal will see the text as a table of data with just 1 row.
For each text file you want to display, create a new Subreport (Insert->Subreport)
In the database selection menu, go to "Create New Connection"->"Access/Excel (DAO)"
Under 'database type', you'll see a 'text' option at the bottom of the screen.
Choose your file.
Relax! (I'm in a good mood this morning, don't know why)
I guess if you have a function that takes a file name as an argument and returns the contents of that file - you could use that function in a Crystal Report formula.
I am not familiar with the current CR, it has been years since I last used it (I last used version 8). In the versions I did use, such a function was not built in. What you would have to do back then, was to create a UFL (user function library) containing the functions you needed. If I remember correctly, you had to do this using COM.
In this day and age, I guess you can extend CR using some other mechanism, perhaps writing .NET code?
I suggest you search the CR documentation for the term UFL.
Another suggestion, then:
Create a new table FILECONTENTS (filename varchar primary key, contents blob)
Create a script that on a schedule populates this table with the filenames and contents of all the files (assuming that there is a finite number of files, and that you have a way of knowing about them)
Modify the report datasource query to join it with the FILECONTENTS table, and add the contents field to the report.
You could setup a file dsn. But this is geared toward tabular file data, not text.
How big are these text files? You want to display the entire contents of each file?
There is probably no easy way to dynamically read in a file from within crystal. You will most likely have to push a dataset to the report which contains the file contents.
